Quality
Pearson Fielding was one of the original firms appointed to the Legal Services Commission's Very High Costs Case (VHCC) Panel (previously known as the Specialist Fraud Panel). Only a small number of solicitors are on this nationwide panel and authorised to take on such cases. Under its contract with the Legal Services Commission the practice has also been awarded the Specialist Quality Mark (SQM), an indication of Pearson Fielding's commitment to providing a quality service.
